The words you will meet in Smarties, in plain language. The French label is the one shown when the app is in French
(see Glossaire Smarties for the French version of this page).
Mail and folders
| Term |
French label |
What it means |
| Mailbox |
Boîte aux lettres |
An email account (Gmail, Microsoft 365, any IMAP provider) connected to Smarties. Smarties reads it; you keep using your address as before. |

All your mailboxes in one list. |
| Folder |
Dossier |
